Henry David Thoreau loved it. I believe that when he was writing Walden, he was living in a sort of isolation. I mean, he had visitors, but ultimately, how many visitors really want to go visit a pond all the time?

In Halloween, Jamie Lee Curtis is alone for most of the movie with Tommy, babysitting on Halloween night.

Those are just a few examples, i'm probably missing a bazillion more.

I also find that when I am alone, I am more aware of things. Like, oh, when was that window open? Did I open that? I thought I closed it...

or what was that noise? I've never heard that noise before...is it knocking?

Also, things sound more scary. A car driving by with loud music...trucks....the ice cream truck's almost sinister-sounding circus music....dogs barking....children playing outside where I can only hear them and not see them trick me to believing in ghosts.

And of course who can forget when you're a little kid you're scared to all sorts of extremes when people tell you to "pretend" your parents are home when you're home alone and someone calls or comes to the door, so a "stranger" won't come and kidnap and murder you. That's terrifying.

I guess my final thoughts would be that having alone-time is great during the day...but at night..it's pretty creepy. I enjoy the company of others.

The link to the Wikipedia entry for "Alone" was this blog's cherry on top.

"Didn't I shut that window?" is pretty frightening though.

For all the times i've played NES's Darkman. I have never seen the movie.

I'll Try That, here's the plot of the game, tell me if its similar to the movie's plot.

You go around taking pictures of people in windows and then make masks of their faces.

Then you sneak into factories and circuses looking just like the photographed persons fighting your way through "baddies" firing bazookas at you before ultimately fighting (punching) the person you look exactly like to death.

Then you go take more pictures and balance on things every five minutes.
